Car update.

[RagingPenguin]

With the rattle noise you are describing under very specific circumstances, I suspect that's not the issue.

LME seems to have dealt with some bad timing chain/tensioner issues, maybe hit them up to see what they think?

Is the rattle on the side the assembly is on?

And are you sure it's not the tranny?

Noise is on drivers side of motor.  Can't verify or promise that though.
Car used to have a small timing chain rattle on start but it longer exists after the short block.
Can't really guess at the transmisson. So far the car hasn't done anything weird with shifts or anything like that. Had one instance where it felt like it failed to go in gear. But I don't know if that was the car protecting itself or the transmission.
Also it doesn't bother me to much to replace the transmission or PTU. I just don't love the idea of killing the motor a second time.


Oil changes are always full synthetic with a motorcraft fl500s.
Generally done every 5-7000KM depending on driving etc

Run the car with the engine cover off, see if you can get a better fix on the noise location (better still if you have a camera you can affix underhood).  It may be something with the HPFP or the fuel rail.  The HPFP does fail sometimes.

I've got an extra cell phone that I'll try again with. How ever last time the motor was simply to loud. I'll position further from intake as I suspect that was my mistake last time.
I'll do this after I receive the O2 sensor and clean up the sensors on intake.

Regardless of what is going on I would switch to a higher quality oil ASAP.

Between fuel dilution, timing chain issues, etc I believe a high quality oil is mandatory in these cars.

I'm currently running BND's Quantum Blue but it will be a bit before I have any data from an oil analysis.

You can't go wrong with Amsoil though and Rich is a vendor.

Due to my location I'll have to source a local vendor. I do know of one. Amsoil filters recommended also?

Get a preferred customer membership..it's worth it and u just get it shipped..no need for a local vendor

Basically there are people that think they know what true synthetic oil is and then there are people that know what amsoils is...if u have to ask then read about group Iv/v oil

[RagingPenguin]

So what you're saying is it's the best. Ok I can live with that. Should switch my 04 f150 over to it also.

I actually use amsoil signature series oil in my lawnmower and weed wacker lol....I use it in my wife's car because she has a turbo direct injection motor and for the extended drain interval

Thanks for the reference FoMoCoSHO!

I couldn't agree with AJ anymore, Amsoil is the real deal.

Check out this thread for ordering information and links to do so.

Feel free to message me or post to MotorCity Synthetics in the vendor area.

I'd like to go on more, but I'm sick (kids already brought it home from school) and it's bed time.

Thanks buddy...think it was food poisoning now. Probably lost 5 pounds yesterday...ugh

Little one has sniffles and cough, but no fever...so he's still in school touching it out.

Only year the boys ever got really sick, the year they got flu shots. No severe sickness since they've quit getting them.

Putting new O2 sensor in now, just going to get the proper socket.
Front sensor looks new, sensor one in bank two looks old. Might check harness to ensure no wear through. Is there anything I can test with a multimeter?

[AJP turbo]

No idea....but make sure u are changing the correct sensor that the code was referring to

And are you sure u got a sensor for the front near the turbo?..did u get a motorcraft sensor?

[RagingPenguin]

No idea....but make sure u are changing the correct sensor that the code was referring to

P0150 is the sensor deals with rad side sensor before cat isn't it?
Bank 1 is front of car. Bank 2 is firewall side. At least that's what I've read.

EDIT. Got dicombobulated.
Bank one firewall bank 2 rad side

That is incorrect.. Bank 1 is the firewall side and bank 2 is the radiator side... Longer DP on bank 2.
